The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office has provided Ukraine with a complete list of prosecutors-traitors from Crimea

Today, the 30th of September, the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko has promulgated a letter from the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office, which contains data about 590 prosecutors from Crimea, which entered into the service of the occupiers.

“Yesterday I received a letter from the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office. They are very concerned about our criminal prosecution of prosecutors from Crimea for treason. They bring to my attention that Yanukovych (ex-President of Ukraine — ed.) signed a decree on renunciation from Ukrainian citizenship of 590 prosecutors in March 2014,” wrote Lutsenko on his Facebook.

According to him, thanks to the official letter from the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office Ukrainian investigators received irrefutable proof of fault of 299 former Ukrainian prosecutors, who have been already served with charges. In addition, also data has been received about other 291 traitors. “With this in mind, I signed a certificate of gratitude to the head of the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Russian Federation,” added Lutsenko.

He stressed that the decree signed by Yanukovych was not legally binding. “A real Decree of the President of Ukraine must be indorsed by his signature and sealed with the State Seal. Fortunately Yanukovych forgot to steal the Seal,” speaks the Prosecutor General of Ukraine ironically.

As a reminder, Viktor Yanukovych was stripped of the post of the President of Ukraine on February 22, 2014 when the Verkhovna Rada adopted the Decree on the New Presidential Election due to Yanukovych’s self-removal from his duties.

This is a project of independent journalists, which pooled their efforts to create the high-quality news and opened first in Crimea independent news media without political patronage of the founders in 2012.
One can be confident of the objective information provided, as the news is made by a group of independent journalists, which is quite rare in Crimea and Russia.

After the annexation of Crimea the journalists were persecuted by the Russian and Crimean authorities for their own independent opinion and were forced to move to the mainland Ukraine.

The editorial staff sets itself an ambitious goal to destroy myths about Crimea that are generated on both sides, Ukrainian and Russian. Unfortunately, the political and public figures in Russian as well as in Ukrainian in chase of their own political benefits breed many stereotypes about Crimea, Crimean and Crimean migrants.

Our challenge is to dismantle the myths and to inform the world community about what is actually happening in Crimea.

ABOUT CRIMEAFor centuries the peninsula of Crimea has been the disputed territory and a “tasty morsel” for many states. During the last 100 years Crimea has changed its administrative structure, state affiliation or been occupied more than 10 times. In the former Soviet Union Crimea was a part of the Ukrainian Soviet Republic. Since 1991 it has been the Autonomous Republic within independent Ukraine. In February 2014 Russian invaded Crimea with its troops and annexed the peninsula in March 2014. Since then Crimea has become a "gray area" on the global map: de jure it is part of Ukraine, de facto it is governed by Russia. Ukraine calls it occupation and hopes to return the territory, however, according to the international terms the process that has taken place, is called annexation.

After the Russian annexation the “News from the Crimea” web site is about what has been happening in Crimea.
